Dear Fantastic BPE Families,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful twenty third week of school. Next Saturday, February 25 is the PTO Thrift Shop day for Burns Park Elementary, details below.

Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop:

The Ann Arbor PTO Thrift shop is a non-profit which provides support to all AAPS PTOs from their sales, see their flyer attached below this message. Every academic year, each school is also assigned one Saturday when 10% of proceeds are earned for that specific school and BPE’s day will be February 25, 2023.

Yearbook Pictures:

The Burns Park Elementary Yearbook needs your help! Please share any photos you took of school events during the 2022-2023 school year. After uploading the photos, please tag them with the grade or teacher name.

You can upload your photos here or by taking a picture of the QR code above.

We are looking for photos from classroom parties, field trips, in the school garden, on the playground and school events like Walk and Talk, Popsicles in the Park, Outdoor Movie Night, and the Fall Picnic. Your cameras can take great shots!

We appreciate your help in filling this year’s yearbook with lots of Penguin memories. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the yearbook co-editors: Julie Rick (jamattock@gmail.com) and/or Kory Zhao (koryzhao@gmail.com).

Your Burns Park PTO
